In India, 700 million people are under the age of 25. Everyone needs education, awareness and skill training.

To keep saying we are the youngest nation is one thing. To do something about it is another.

You have to be responsible, act responsibly.

Today's youth are split in two -- one group is whiling away time.

They are in this bubble of wanting to look good, wanting to share things on social media.

For them, life is social media.

They like to waste time by hanging out; they do not play sports or watch good content.

In fact, this is the best time for content in India -- you just need to figure out what you want to watch.

Now, there is no harm if you want to have coffee and play games.

Your life can't be 50 hours of just gaming and social media.

I'd rather do rock climbing in the morning, come back and say, hey, I did this on social media. There has to be some balance.

The second group belongs to youngsters who are super-talented, super-informed and know how to get it.

There are 13- and 15-year-olds who know what they want to do and how to do it. That's why so many VCs (venture capitalists) are willing to invest in young ideas, create entrepreneurs.

Considering the resources that are available today, if you are not able to perform today, 10 years later, you won't have an excuse to explain why you didn't do it when you could.

There are so many reality shows; anyone who is a good singer will launch his/her career; the rest go home, give excuses. There are people with no resources putting stuff on YouTube and making money.

So, what's your excuse?

Your take on equal pay and gender diversity at the workplace.

If I pick 100 bricks and you do the same, there is no reason why you should be paid less because you are a woman.

There is no logic, it is unfair.

You recently collaborated with FILA for their motorsport collection. What does this mean for you?

I'm a basketball lover. The aspiration for the biggest basketball players in the world Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant -- is to have their own shoe.

While growing up, I had just two pairs of shoes.

I'm sure most of us will have the same story -- one was this black or white pair which was meant to be worn to school.

The other was this casual one which doubled up as your sports shoe, your party pair -- basically, any and every outdoor occasion.

Rohan (Batra, MD, FILA India) and I met over coffee last year; we discussed shoes. Everyone who knows me can vouch for my passion for motorsport.

We realised that India has a great market for motorsport accessories. FILA is one of the first and oldest shoe companies in India.

When I was asked to be a part of this association, it was the best thing to happen.

Imagine you have loved something all through your childhood. When you grow up, you get a chance to live that dream.

I believe that nothing is impossible. I never thought I'd have my own line of shoes. I kept doing what I was passionate about and the day has come, my name is on a shoe.

And it is not like any random association with a brand. They (FILA) took my inputs on the design and worked on it.

The creative satisfaction I got working on this one gave me a sense of ownership that I am proud of.

When someone buys it, they'll know a motor enthusiast was in the room when it was designed.

What kind of inputs did you offer?

If you are into adventure sport that involves a lot of driving, you need shoes with thin soles, which will give you comfort and grip.

Similarly, if you are wearing gloves, most of the time one has to remove the gloves to tie the shoelaces.

Bikers would love to have shoes with strings that they can quickly glide into and pull over.

Also, it's functional to have a strap where you can snuggle the ends of the shoelaces or the strings so you don't trip over -- how high ankle, chunky or lean drawstring -- these are just small details a motorsport collection I felt should feature.
